Life is....... ?

...pain, princess. Anyone who tells you differently is trying to sell something." Wesley, Princess Bride

Life is an adventure, an exploration of the vast unknown. Life is pain and joy, love and hate, wisdom and ignorance, chaos and order. Life is the breathtaking awe you feel as you hold your child and she looks up into your eyes and the soul-shattering loss you endure when the love of your life walks away. Life is friends and enemies, peace and war, good and evil. Life is a game. Enjoy it while it lasts 'cause you won't get out alive.

The bright red tiny flower driving it's way through the crack in the city cement.

This was cool.

Every Wed i pass a really nice cement filled plant arrangement at the Wellness Center. The side walk is an old fashioned brick like arrangement and the seeds of spent flowers have replanted themselves in the cracks....so it looks like the flowers have cascaded onto the side walk when in actuality they have reseeded themsleves....its beauty is breathtaking.

i wonder how often we find our seeds of kindess replanted?

LIFE is:

different stages, from newborn to geriatric (if not killed off in middle age)

each stage has its joys and sorrows and the object of the process is to learn; to crawl; to run; to attend school; to achieve economic independence from your parents; choosing among the rewards available: children, marriage, career, accolades, etc.; being striped naked as a retiree; finding one's feet again and giving back to one's community; dying with dignity.

LIFE is:

followed by an encounter with the face of God, seeing yourself clearly as you lived your life...and either spending eternity in God's presence or being deprived forever of that experience.

LIFE is:

providing for and protecting your child; imparting your values to your child; praying constantly for her safety and well-being and happiness; moving from one motherly stage to another; ending up friends with your adult child; getting grandchildren if blessed; a love that transcends everything and a series of blessings from God in the form of the joys of motherhood.

LIFE is:

the joys and sorrows of engaging with other people; one's family; one's friends; and one's lovers/husbands?Doms/Masters. The choice of an open heart brings great joy but some sorrow as well...yet it is an instinctively correct way to live.

LIFE is:

surviving sorrow/loss/helplessness....experiencing transcendent joy at the ocean's edge or watching the Northern Lights....knowing God's love and protection and always striving (but never succeeding) in maintaining a state of grace.
